Ready for Christmas? and..... Blog Candy

Hello stamping friends! I am back from a much needed vacation and break from posting.  The summer's always feel like they fly by don't they? But I got to spend alot of time with my family making happy memories!

Had a great time earlier this month at Hershey Park. Definately the place to take your family if you like rides and my kids love them!  I'm ready for the cooler weather though, I do love the fall season. But before we start the fall cards, I have a Little Darlings Christmas image to show you.  Here is the card I made using "All For Me:"


I paired this cute Little Darling image that I got from Love To Stamp with this Christmas tree digi image that I had saved on my computer. I'm not quite sure where the tree came from but it could be a Mo Manning image...?  I thought the images fit nicely together.  What do you think?

I colored this image with copics and the papers used today are from the Basic Grey Jovial paper pack and my flowers are from WOC. The brads and stickers were part of my stash and I also used a Martha Stewart punch and Spellbinder die to make this card.

** Blog Candy Alert **

I have some blog candy I'd like to offer. I received some duplicate Magnolia stamps from Sweden that I'd like to share with you.  I have 2 lots to give away.

Candy #1: (Tilda in Star Dress and Tilda's Summer Car)



Candy #2: (Tilda w/Stuffed Animal, Strawberry Yummy Tilda, and Explore Tilda)



I am offering this candy to those of you who follow me. Please leave me a comment on this post if you'd like to be in on the drawing and tell me if you have a preference for Candy 1 or 2. If you'd like to post a picture of this candy on your blog, I would appreciate it and tell your friends! ;)

Winners will be announced on September 30.
That's it for now. Am off to a Labor Day picnic and celebrating my 18th Wedding Anniversary OMG!
Have a great day!

Angela Marie said...

HOw nice of you to share such a wonderful prize. I would love either but if I'd have to choose I'd pick #1 because I don't own too many magnolia accessories and that little car reminds me of a car my dad had when I was little. Have a wonderful day.
